Diffused over the Internet and social media, cartoons have never been so powerful and creative. Yet today, those with pen in hand face a crossfire of unprecedented dangers. There is the traditional oppression. The autocrats, machos and popu- lists of this world are strangely tetchy and thin-skinned. Their loathing of humor and terrifying fear of ridicule push them to hound those who practice the art of satire. Zunar of Malaysia, Musa Kart of Turkey, Hani Abbas of Syria, Pedro Molina of Nicaragua, Rayma Suprani of Venezuela and many others, who are harassed, convicted, imprisoned, forced into Tom Scott exile or fired, are a credit to this profession. They remind us that drawing (New Zealand) is an act of courage. To this, we can add econo- mics. The long, merciless sapping of traditional media that disheartens newspa- per executives and seems to destroy their appetite. That appetite for a battle of ideas, a palate for argument. Essentially, the taste for their very business. As such, many editors are tempted to ditch their cartoonists. Forgetting all too quickly that these troublemakers are often very popular among the public. And of course, there is censorship. It can come from the State, the editor or the more insidious type from our own subconscious: “It goes with the job.” The Charlie Hebdo attack in 2015 showed us all the most abso- lute form of censorship: death. But a new type of collective censorship has slyly implanted itself. The pressure from the Internet’s sanctimonious mobs is just as corrosive for public debate. For the horde offended by an opinion or a drawing, it is not enough to express their feelings, they want justice to be dispensed. The offender punished. The offender silenced. These campaigns are often stoked by interest groups that know all too well what they are doing. Social networks, the echo chambers of vitriol are today more powerful than traditional media that they bully. Cartooning for Peace PROTECTION OF EDITORIAL CARTOONISTS • PRACTICAL GUIDE 5 The cartoonists who become the object of threats, the target of hate- ful or misogynist vigilante campaigns, find themselves isolated and poorly protected. Sometimes dropped by their publication. Being in the cross hairs is a lonely place. This is why this guidebook, put together by Sylvain Platevoet and the entire Cartooning for Peace team, could not have come at a better time. For newcomers and veteran cartoonists, this manual aspires to be a precious tool kit next to your pens and pencils. It will help you identify threats, confront them and find the necessary resources when needed. This guidebook is an outstretched hand in a chain of solidarity. It is part of the counter-offensive in the fight for trust and justice, the very thing editorial cartoons fight for. Despite it all, we should not forget that the fight is good-humored. And our job remains the best in the world! Patrick Chappatte Editorial cartoonist, Vice-President of the Swiss Foundation Cartooning for Peace Chappatte (Switzerland) 6 PROTECTION OF EDITORIAL CARTOONISTS • PRACTICAL GUIDE Cartooning for Peace Caveat In 2016, Cartoonists Rights Network International (CRNI) published the extre- mely helpful “Safety Manual for Political Cartoonists in Trouble”— the only one of its kind to this day. Thanks to the support of the European Union, Cartooning for Peace presents this guide which we hope will expand on the work done by CRNI. In publishing this guide, CFP aspires to help you foresee or respond to a one-off or persistent attack on your work or integrity. We have tried to be exhaustive in this publication; however, this guidebook might not give you the solution to your problem, which may be unique and have several appropriate answers. Nevertheless, it has been written to be a tool that can drive you to the solution matching your need, as well as direct you to those who will be able to help you. And because the world changes quickly, we will carry out frequent updates to avoid this guidebook becoming outdated. The document and the updates will be available on the Cartooning for Peace Website: www.cartooningforpeace.org/resources/?lang=en We must state that this guidebook is focused on violations against the exercise of your work, which may be an attack relating to a particular cartoon or even personal persecution. However, if you find yourself ina situation not covered by this guidebook, there are organizations listed in the Appendix 1 which will be able to help you according to their area of work. This guidebook has been inspired by the practical experience of CFP and its partners, the reports and needs expressed by cartoonists, and manuals publi- shed by organizations specializing in assisting artists, journalists and human rights defenders. Certain sections might act as a gateway to the resources of other organizations and are interspersed with useful links. Some parts will appear familiar to experienced cartoonists but, for the sake of newcomers to the profession, we did not want to be frugal with this informa- tion. The guidebook has been structured to allow you easy reference to those sections that seem most pertinent. Section 1 focuses on the need to anticipate and prevent. It also presents metho- dology and conceptual tools. Section 2 offers practical steps in responding to a threat or attack supported by real-life cases. The Appendices provide a list of partner organizations and practical tools. Cartooning for Peace PROTECTION OF EDITORIAL CARTOONISTS • PRACTICAL GUIDE 7 8 PROTECTION OF EDITORIAL CARTOONISTS • PRACTICAL GUIDE Cartooning for Peace We would like to thank: Cartoonists who, through their work, advice and experience, contri- buted to the creation of this guidebook.

  • Women Deliver – Cartoon Book
    C A R T O O N S F O R A N D A B O U T E V E R Y W O M A N s Liza Donnelly makes clear in her introduction to this volume, cartoons are often designed to make us smile, but they don’t always make us laugh. The cartoons in this volume deal with Aserious subject matters: gender equality, human rights, the education of women and girls, and the role of women around the globe. WOMEN DELIVER Women may be key to cultural stability and economic prosperity, but cultural traditions sometimes lag behind this realization. The cartoons here, which make up the exhibition organized by Women Deliver for their May 2013 global conference in Kuala Lumpur, help us to see cultural taboos and injustices from artists who are living and experiencing these traditions. The cartoonists come from Australia, Colombia, Ecuador, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Holland, Iran, Japan, Palestine, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Women Deliver, The World Receives offers cartoon art that “crosses language borders and shows us our shared humanity.” Liza Donnelly, who collected the cartoons published here is a contract cartoonist with the New Yorker and a weekly columnist/cartoonist for Forbes.com and Women’s Enews. She has traveled around the world as a cultural envoy for the US State Department, speaking about freedom of speech, cartoons and women’s rights. Women Deliver is a global advocacy organization launched in 2007 that brings together voices from around the world to call for improved health and wellbeing for girls and women.
